Moreover, on account of that. competition there is an esprit do corps among ofticials and other employees in each sys- tem that is admirable. There is no other railway system anywhere to which the staffs are so loyal as in the case of the C.P.R.. and Sir Henry Thornton is rapidly working up the (J. N. R. statfs to a similar standard of loyalty to and pride. in the na- tional system. It is true there is a difference of opinion as to what is the best way to make the best of it; but it usual- ly simmers down to something like amalagmation of the two railway systems, the (1 P. R. shareholders to be. guaranteed their usual dividends. There would be a dual management of Mr. E. W. Beatty and Sir Henry Thornton, an expert railway man as liaison officer between them, and the Railway Commission, to continue to act as at present a buffer between thirailways and the public. i There is in Montreal newspapers, editorially and in correspondence, and occasionally it finds its way to the platform, a constant stream of insidious propaganda in- respect of the Canadian National Railways. There is copious weeping over the burden to the nation entailed the {act that due consideration a few years ago was not given to the prob- lem to be created by taking over the lines now consolidated with the In- tercolonial and National Transcon» tinental, and the mournful situation of now being unable to unloadâ€" though that by some devious pro- cess would seem to be the objective aimed at.

Later, the. bulbs are dug, cured and shipped to Canada. Knowing that the flow- ers are already formed in the bulbs before planting, he who proposed either to grow them in the garden or pot them for the house will read- ily understand that large, well-de- veIOped bulbs are likely to give bet- ter flowers than small ones. In or- dering this should be remembered. No amount of care «an add more blooms to a Hyacinth spike than were formed when the bulb was gro_\\'_iug in Holland. Flowers are, no doubt, enjoyed more in the spring than at any other period of the growing season. After a long winter, the first flow- ers are eagerly sought for, and if bulbs have been planted in the aut- umn, one has not long to wait for flowers, for Snowdrops bloom as soon as the snow has gone. Then come in rapid succession, Snow or Chionodoxa, Crocus, Grape Hya- cinth, Dutch Hyacinth, Narcissus in great variety, and early, cottage and Darwin Tulips. These give a succession of bloom from early in April, or earlier if the frost, is out of the ground, until well on in June, says W. T. Macoun, Dominion Horticulturist.
